Former TS Galaxy manager Sead Ramovic has laid out his ambitious goals as he begins his tenure at Young Africans SC.
The tactician's appointment follows the departure of Argentine coach Miguel Gamondi, who had guided Yanga to the Tanzanian Premier League title earlier this year.

However, back-to-back defeats in recent fixtures led to Gamondi's exit, prompting the club to act swiftly in securing the former Betway Premiership coach's services.
Ramovic, who recently parted ways with TS Galaxy after a 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch FC, spoke with enthusiasm about the opportunity to lead Yanga.
"It is a tremendous honour to be here, coaching Young Africans," Ramovic told Daily News.
"This is a truly great club, with a rich history and a squad full of exceptionally talented players. It is a privilege to lead such a team, and I am excited about the opportunity to help take this club to even greater heights."
Yanga has dominated the Tanzanian Premier League in recent years, clinching three consecutive league titles. Ramovic looks eager to maintain that success while also building a strong campaign on the continental stage.
"This club has achieved so much, and with the incredible players we have, the potential to continue winning titles is immense," he added.
"I look forward to working with the team to maintain Yanga's tradition of success and to build a future where we can compete at the highest levels, both domestically and internationally."
Ramovic's tenure begins with high expectations as Yanga prepare to face Sudanese giants Al Hilal in their CAF Champions League group opener on Tuesday, 26 November.
With the club's sights set on continental glory, the 45-year-old manager will be tasked with balancing domestic dominance and international aspirations.
